Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hello,
I am wanting to add another stock to my TFSA, which contains SGY, DSG & ADW.A. Each stock is close to 25% of TFSA but only about 2.5% of total portfolio.
I am considering adding ITP, Winpak WPK, or CCL Industries CCL.B.
Questions:
1. I like all of ITP metrics except for the Forward PE (19.5) which is higher than the Trailing PE (9.8). Should I be reading anything into this?
2. Which company would be your preference for continued earnings growth & growing dividend with 5 yr plus outlook.

Q: Hello,
I am planning on adding these companies to my diversified Canadian portfolio as 4% positions each. I am striving for some US exposure--sj, fsz, some growth--phm, and some stability--kbl.

Q: It appears hrx blew the quarter right out of the ball park. I know you should not fall in love with your stocks but I find management does everything right here and that we are in a bull market for military and commercial aircraft replacements. Agree? I am thinking of making hrx a 5 percent weighing even though there is no dividend.

Q: Hi, I wonder if you could explain the outperformance of adw.b vs adw.a. I have owned the a shares for a couple of years and while not disappointed I am wondering what it would take to get this somewhat "constipated" stock moving. Thank you very much.

Q: May I please have your advice on what stocks to add to the following (beginning, <2-yrs) portfolio, and/or other recommendations.

My time horizon is 10+ years, although with draw-down expected to start in 3-5 years. Low risk tolerance (except for one "mad money" stock as will be evident!). Strong leaning toward dividends with DRIP wherever possible.

KBL 14%
WSP, DH 13% each
CSS 12%
CPX, PKI, NA 10% each
AM 8%
WJX 6%
TCK.B 5%

I know it's "mad", but I'm interested in keeping the AM for the time being.

I'm needing to redeploy the CSS proceeds into probably 2 stocks, and am leaning towards AFN & CSW.

Thank you folks for all you do, and for any advice you are able to offer here within the constraints of the Q&A format.

Q: I have small positions in CFL (-30%) and OR (-2%) that I am thinking selling. I am also looking at increasing my positions for CHW, DR, HWO, PRW and KLS. I am a long term investor and can handle risk.

Looking at the basket above, do you recommend selling CFL and/or OR to invest in CHW, DR, HWO, PRW and/or KLS ?

Can you also rank CHW, DR, HWO, PRW and KLS for long term growth ?

Thanks !

Q: Peter & Co. I am building a basket of small cap bioteck stocks. I currently have modest positions in Cipher (DND), Knight (GUD) and ProMetic (PLI). I am lookin to add a couple more small positions to this group. I am considering Nova Research (NRI) and Intellipharmaceutics (I).

With appreciation for your great servicee.

Q: In 2011, I purchased 2000 shares of CCO for growth in my RRSP prior to the collapse of uranium prices. CCO has recovered a bit but I am still down 33%. I am toying with selling now, absorbing the loss, and redeploying the approx. $42K to higher-yielding stocks like FRU or AW.UN with potentially better medium-term growth prospects. Now retired, I want more income and think CCO is dead money, at least for the next few years.
I would welcome your opinion on this approach.
